James Keller, M.M. (June 27, 1900 – February 7, 1977) was a Catholic priest in the Maryknoll Order. In 1945 he founded The Christophers, a Christian inspirational group which broadcasts a weekly inspirational television show of the same name. It was seen on ABC in that network's early years. After ABC canceled the show in the mid-1960s, Keller continued to produce it for independent distribution. The Christophers continues to be syndicated to local television stations along with a radio version. The organization also holds "The Christopher Awards" ceremony each year, primarily to recognize media that exemplify the human spirit.
